Brightness-contrast is another way of using the color-levels, I find curves easier. I do not think Hue-saturation works very well with you image(s) but give it a try.

This all gimp
Back to Gmic, in the colours section and curves, there is a CMYK (cyan-magenta-yellow-black) option, pulling those curves around gets reasonably close. A frame from the gif is inset for comparison. https://i.imgur.com/xe3h0Cq.jpg
Then to get it closer to the gif, wreck it by posterising (Gimp menu: colors -> posterise) and reduce the number of colors. https://i.imgur.com/IUKwNsd.jpg
